Houndoom's Single Strike Roar Ability allows you to search your deck for a Single Strike Energy card and attach it to one of your Pokemon.

The Single Strike Urshifu deck focuses on using Single Strike Urshifu's Fists of Strife attack, which does 100 damage plus 100 more damage if Single Strike Urshifu has any damage counters on it. Houndoom's Single Strike Roar Ability allows you to search your deck for a Single Strike Energy card and attach it to one of your Pokemon. If you attach an Energy card in this way, you get to put 2 damage counters on the Pokemon you attached the Energy card to with the Ability, which allows you to do more damage with Single Strike Urshifu's Fists of Strife attack. We run 1 Single Strike Urshifu V in this deck so that we have a backup attacker and because it's Impact Blow attack does 180 damage. The goal of this deck is to go first, have 2-3 Kubfu in play and have 2-3 Houndour in play on turn 1. On turn 2, this is when we start having Single Strike Urshifus and Houndooms in play. I hope you enjoy this decklist and feel free to comment down below if you have a deck suggestion or card suggestions for this list!

Hey! Nice deck! I really understand where the pieces fit here! However, there are a few things I'd suggest: 1. Cut Crobat V and Single Strike Urshifu V. If you're playing a single-prizer deck, don't include multi-prizers, as they are a liability and give your opponent an easier way to victory. For single-prize secondary attacker, I'd go for Stonjourner BST 84, but Yveltal FST 175 is worth considering. As for a draw Pokemon, I'd say Snorlax VIV 131. 2. Only play 1 Capture Energy. It can be hard to draw a Capture Energy if you really need a Darkness Energy for Single Strike Urshifu's attack. Cut 3 Capture Energy and add 3 Darkness Energy SWSHEnergy 7. 3. Add Bruno BST 121. Since single-prizers get knocked out quicker, Bruno can draw 7 often. Overall, it's a really, really neat deck.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion! I do consider cutting the Crobat V and the Single Strike Urshifu V and adding some Brunos. I think the Capture Energy does help but I may cut 2 for the Bruno to have 4 Bruno since Bruno is good in single-prize archetypes. I will definitely test this deck with the changes! Thanks TandemTCG!

I also will test the Stonjourner, it seems better than Single Strike Urshifu V since it only gives up 1 Prize card. I will take out a Marnie, 2 Capture Energy, the Single Strike Urshifu V, and Crobat V for 4 Bruno and 1 Stonjourner and test that out.
